From Game of Thrones to True Detective, television drama continues to produce content previously only available in the cinema; consequently production values (and budgets) are increasing exponentially. Alongside that, the huge audiences that tune into sporting events are enticed by sporting moments where music is a key element in generating drama. These days TV promos, and their associated music feel more like cinematic trailers than ever. They are epic, nuanced, and huge in scale and ambition. Add to this the fact that a prime-time promo can be repeated thousands of times before a show airs, and suddenly the value, exposure and revenues that music in TV Promos can generate make them the hottest tickets in sync.
